A Chinese, who acted as "boy" in No. 62 Hollywood. Road; was the first witness called by the prosecution. This witness stated that the defondant and another man, who possessed a fanny nose, called at the house at about 11.15 p.m, on the 28th of last month.
The defendant asked for a whisky and soda and his companion or derea for a drink of beer. The drinks were served and defendant produced a 3500 note, which the witness took to Miss Brent, the mistress of the house who was in the dining room at the time, in order to get the necessary change, When the witness got the $495 in notes, he returned to the drawing room, where he noticed the two visitors together with two other ladies, Miss Morrison and Miss Lilie.
He counted out the notes and defendant took them and left. No words were spoken, excepting that Miss Morrison remarked that the defendant seemed to be very careless about the way he carried his money.
